Alleged stills from the series' infamous pilot
Through discussions with the Jimmy Two-Shoes creators by YouTubers like Smizzle and LSuperSonicQ, as well as Concept Art posted online, quite a bit has been revealed about the series' notorious and elusive pilot.
- Conceived as something akin to "Pee-wee Herman in Hell" (according to Sean Scott), this show was originally going to be a Black Comedy aimed at the 11-15 audience, much like some other Teletoon shows of the late 2000s, like Total Drama, 6teen, and Fred's Head. Teletoon had completely okayed the pitch concept, but when Disney XD entered the picture, they demanded that changes be made to make the series more acceptable for American audiences.
- Miseryville would have explicitly been Hell, and there would have been many other humans beyond Jimmy and Heloise. Demons and monsters would still have been a part of the setting, although they would not have been the sole inhabitants of the city.
- Jimmy would have died from being hit by a bus after helping an old lady cross the street and ended up in Hell thanks to an administrative error when St. Peter mistook the footage for him pickpocketing her. He also wore a completely different costume, having a brown shirt and a bowtie instead of his green t-shirt. See some concept art here.
- Heloise would have been a Serial Killer arranged by Lucius to be Jimmy's tormentor, only for her to fall in love with him. She also had a more ghoulish appearance with corpse-coloured skin, and was originally intended to have Borderline Personality Disorder that caused her to flip-flop between loving Jimmy and torturing him. .
- Lucius would have explicitly been Satan, with "Lucy" being short for "Lucifer". Also, he originally had a stereotypical devil tail, his suit was brown instead of black, and he had normal feet instead of hooves. Concepts of him, Jimmy, and Heloise can be seen here.
- Due to the lack of early Concept Art relating to Beezy, many fans believe that he wasn't originally part of the show's cast and was only added at a stage that greater resembled what the show would eventually become. However, the discovery of this image◊ from the infamous pilot, which noticeably depicts Beezy with different-patterned shorts, proves otherwise. However, he was completely identical to the character seen in the final version in both personality and role, although he was instead referred to as Beelzebub.
- Jez was first conceptualized as Lucius' wife and Beezy's mother, while early versions of Cerbee looked more like an actual dog (albeit with three heads). See here.
- Brian Froud stated in an interview on the podcast "The Cartoon Kids" that he had originally auditioned for the voice of Lucius, but was given Beezy at the last second.
- A third season was announced, but never made, because Disney XD opted out of the deal to fund it.
- There were plans for Lucius I to appear on the show, with Edward Kay saying it could potentially be the plot for a movie.
